Dry Dream

Yuan said in his hand: "This Mingyan jade buddha beads are worth at least 2000 taels of silver, so don't give them away casually. You took care of me for so many days, and you even lost a string of beads for me. This is my repayment to you."

"Ah, such a precious thing, it's too small..." Cheng Yuan refused in trepidation.

"Take it, let me go, Yangliulin is going to the end of the lake. When Kankan sees the wall at the end,

I'm afraid we will never see each other again. "I smiled and said, "Just take it as a souvenir." "

I am never coming back.

"Third Lord..." Cheng Yuan held the Jade Buddha beads and tears flowed like a river.I don't understand. I've only been serving me for a few days. I'm so reluctant. As for it?

"Chengyuan, did the people in the palace treat you badly?" I asked strangely.

"No, the lord is very kind to the little ones. In fact, the lord is very generous to the servants." Cheng Yuan lowered his head and wiped his sleeves with tears and whispered: "It's just that the four young masters fought fiercely and often took out our servants. Don't look at their amiability on the surface, in fact, they are all for the prince to see. Although I have only stayed in the palace for three years, I have served several young masters. Except for that young master Xia Yan, the other three young masters It’s all been changed. Only Mr. Xia Yan is the most afraid of people.”

I smiled and shook my head, I can't understand the bitterness of being a servant.I generally don't criticize the servants in my family, otherwise Liu'er, Hong'er and the little girls in my room wouldn't be so lawless, and sometimes dare to challenge me.

"Okay, don't cry, I have to go." I patted Chengyuan's arm, got up and went to the back room to pick up the bundle on the bed.Chengyuan hurriedly followed, holding a money bag in his hand, and said: "Master Qi, here are dozens of taels of silver, which I save every day. I know you don't have any silver on you, so let this be your travel expenses .”

"How can I ask for your money." I pushed the money bag back, put on the burden and said, "Let's go, take me to the back door."

Seeing that I didn't want his purse, Cheng Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, and led me to the back door.I met Xiangqin on the way, and he stuffed me with a big money bag, saying that it was given to me by King Xiaoling.Open it and look, there is more than 200 taels of silver, all of which are ten taels and one ingot.

Xiangqin gave me the purse and left. I didn't want it at first, but I only saw his back walking away.Chengyuan laughed and said that King Xiaoling still loves me the most, I didn't answer, put the money bag in the bag and continued walking.

If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness.

Sure enough, there was a horse parked outside the back door. Its body was black and its hooves were white, with a streak of white smoke on its forehead. It was beautiful and majestic.

Chengyuan said that this horse is called "Ta Xue", and the prince has another one named "Ta Feng". These two horses are brothers, and they were brought back by the prince from the border.

I got on my horse and turned my head to look into the door.If there is no chance to repay your kindness in this life, then in the next life.

The rising sun was dazzling, so I ran out of the capital facing the rising sun.At this time, the officials were all going to court, there were not many people on the street, and I didn't have to worry about running into my father, so the journey went smoothly.

I stopped suddenly when I left the city gate. How should I go to Xingzhou?

I jumped off the horse and asked as I walked. After asking countless people, I finally asked the way to Xingzhou from a group of dart walkers.I thanked him, got on the horse and left, and faintly heard some of the dart walkers muttering: "You are well dressed, why don't you even want to give a tip."

I pulled back the horse and turned my head to look, and the group of people had already walked away muttering.It seems that there are quite a lot of going out.

After galloping on the horse for almost a day, I finally couldn't stand being tired, hungry and thirsty in the evening, so I stopped the horse and looked around to see if there was anyone there.When I saw it, I felt cold, why did I run to such a desolate place with no village in front and no shop in back?When I went out, I didn't ask Chengyuan to prepare some dry food for me.

Alas...I really...

Even if there is no food, there should be some water, right?

He urged the horse down the official road and walked into the wasteland beside him.I went around in a big circle, except for weeds and loess mounds, there was no water or fruit to satisfy my hunger.

Look at the sky, it's still early before dark, so I might as well go further, even if I can't find a house, I have to find a place with water.Where there is water, there is food.

After running forward for a while, the sun also set and there was only a red line left, and finally saw a small stream and a small forest by the roadside.I happily urged the horse to run to the stream, jumped off the horse and drank the stream water.

Treading the snow was too thirsty, so he stood beside me and bowed his head to drink water.I patted the snow-treading horse's face and said that I had wronged it. It seemed to understand, looked at me with big black and bright eyes, and then walked aside to graze leisurely.

The stream is very clear, and there are small fish and tadpoles in the water.I took off my shoes and socks and rolled up my sleeves to catch small fish. After catching for a while, I only caught two small fish the size of half a finger, and these two were not enough to fit between my teeth.

I went to the shore and looked around. I was already full of snow treading, and I was standing on the grass to rest.The little fish kept jumping and jumping in the grass, and after a while, it stopped moving, only panting with its mouth open.I started to worry again, how to eat this little fish?He didn't carry fire-making tools such as Huozhezi and scythe on his body. Could it be possible to eat it raw like this?

After thinking for a while, seeing that the little fish was almost exhausted to breathe, he simply put the little fish back into the water.

Since there is no way to eat you, you go away.

No matter what, I can survive tonight after drinking a stomach full of water.When I meet someone on the road tomorrow, I will buy some food first.

He took off the burden and unbuttoned it, spread the sheets on the grass and fell asleep.This day has exhausted me terribly, and I didn't sleep a wink last night.Besides, you don't know you're hungry when you're asleep.

68. Enter Xingzhou

While falling asleep, he was suddenly awakened by a very fragrant smell.Opening his eyes, he saw a cluster of small fires not far away. Some kind of meat was being roasted on the fire, and oil was sizzling.There was a man sitting beside him, eating a mouthful of steamed buns and a mouthful of barbecued meat.

I widened my eyes, got up and leaned over and said: "This hero, I don't know..." I was stunned halfway through, this person turned out to be Han Zhen?

"Hehe, Mr. Qi, I really doubt whether you can make it to Xingzhou alive alone." Han Zhen said with a sarcastic smile.

I was already so hungry that I was so hungry that I couldn't care about his sarcasm at all. I just looked at the steamed buns and barbecue in his hand, licked my lips and swallowed my saliva.

I don't mind if you call me a shithead now, as long as I can share your things with me.

Han Zhen looked at me, then at the mantou barbecue in his hand, then put the mantou aside, tore off a leg and handed it to me, "Eat it."

"Thank you!" I happily took the leg meat and ate it.Before eating two bites, Han Zhen handed me another steamed bun.I thanked him inarticulately, and took it to eat.

It was the most delicious meal I have ever had in my life.

After eating enough, he sat by the fire and drank water while asking, "Han Guard, why are you here?"

"I'm the prince's personal bodyguard, why do you think I'm here?" Han Zhen glanced at me, speaking with anger.

I lowered my head with a hot face, it seemed that King Xiaoling was helping me again.

"Go to sleep, hurry up tomorrow morning." Han Zhen said, putting out the fire with mud.

Dejectedly, I went back to the bed sheet and lay down, closed my eyes and thought: King Xiaoling, I, Yan Jingqi, will definitely reciprocate your kindness, but don't expect me to be your male favourite.

"Hey! Wake up!"

Feeling something hitting my face, I woke up suddenly and saw Han Zhen standing in front of me beating my face with a scabbard.

"Wake up, wake up!" I said hurriedly, getting up quickly.

This Han Zhen!You're getting more and more rude to me!

I washed up by the river, ate the dry food that Han Zhen brought me, packed my bags and continued on my way.On the way, I deliberately urged the horse to go fast, and let Han Zhen chase me hard.Let you be cynical and disrespectful to me, my snow-treading horse is a BMW given by King Xiaoling, it can't catch up!

When I was complacent, I looked back but Han Zhen was nowhere to be seen.I was startled, could it be that Taxue ran too fast and threw him away?

He hurriedly turned his horse's head and ran back. After running for a while, he saw Han Zhen sitting on the grass beside the road, eating dry food leisurely.

you are vicious!Know that I don't know the way!

I got off the horse angrily and sat beside him and took out dry food to eat.Han Zhen glanced at me, followed by another barbed taunt.

In this way, I endured Han Zhen's provocative words and rude treatment all the way, and followed him to Xingzhou.Han Zhen is worthy of being King Xiaoling's personal bodyguard, one mountain is higher than another, Soi Ying grabbed him overjoyed,

Being well-informed, he took a shortcut and entered Xingzhou City when it was just getting dark two days later.

Xingzhou is naturally not as prosperous as the capital city, but it is still a novelty for someone like me who has never been out.Han Zhen satirized me and said that I didn't come here for fun, so I put away my strong curiosity and stayed with him in an inconspicuous small inn.

Due to the hasty rush of the past two days, I only slept for an hour or two every day.On the way, I was thinking hard to go to Xingzhou to rescue Yaojun quickly, so I didn't feel very tired.But as soon as I arrived in Xingzhou and lay down on the bed in the inn, I fell asleep like a dead pig.

At the fourth watch, I was woken up by Han Zhen pinching my nose.After sitting up, he saw a set of black night clothes thrown on his body.He quickly put on his night clothes, followed Han Zhen out of the inn window, and headed for Hexing Prince's Mansion.

Hexing Prince's Mansion is very grand and expansive, no less than Xiaoling Prince's Mansion.The two of us crouched on a dark roof and looked inside.The guards in the palace were lined up side by side, densely interspersed and interspersed non-stop, even more heavily guarded than the Xiaoling Palace.

I wrinkled in worry
